Floridriver

A woman in Boynton Beach, Fla., was pulled over for allegedly not wearing her seat belt. After the officer went to fill in the citation details, he returned to the woman’s car to find her on the phone. About then, the dispatcher called him on the radio: the driver, he learned, “called 911 to complain about me writing her tickets.” Once she looked up, “I looked at the defendant and asked her if she called 911,” the officer says. When she confirmed that she called to complain about the ticket, he indeed put it aside — so he could arrest her. Freda Johnson, 50, was charged with a misdemeanor count of misusing 911. (RC/South Florida Sun-Sentinel) ...Don’t worry: she’ll surely be sentenced to a Floridiversion program.
